The updates for the newer itunes are specifically for the itouch and iphone. You may need to update but it should have popped up with this info when you plugged it in. If you contact Apple, they will tell you to reinstall itunes which is a pain but you might as well do it becasue it may work and they won't talk to you untill you've tried it. (Just in case it doesn't reload your music automatically you can tell itunes where it is at. In the file tab, there is an option for Add Folder and you can tell it where the itunes music folder is at.) They will also ask you to try another cable. This is a small chance with a new cable but you should check it anyways. If you have done this and reset you itouch you should go ahead and get on their site. It is a common problem but usually in older ipods. If you live in a city that has an Apple store you can ask their Genious Bar. Good luck.

You will need to plug the iPod touch into the computer it was last synced with, and restore it.

NOTE: You may lose some data that was stored on the iPod.

To do this:1) Turn the iPod off.2) Hold down the Home button and plug the iPod into the computer.3) Release the Home button when the iTunes logo appears on the iPod's screen. ITunes should now recognize that the iPod is in recovery mode.4) Follow the on screen instructions to restore the iPod.

try holding the middle button and menu for like 40 seconds and the apple logo should show up and ask you to plug it into itunes. make sure itunes is open and is the newest version when you plug the nano in.
